Butterfly abundances but not patch occupancy buffered by vegetation heterogeneity during climatic extremes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
As extreme climatic events are becoming more frequent, we need to understand what mechanisms could buffer populations to ensure their persistence. Fragmented populations may be especially vulnerable, as exemplified by species with metapopulation dynamics whose persistence is determined by a precarious balance between frequent local extinctions and ...

Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...

Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...

Perceptions of Governance (Il)Legitimacy Mediate Climate Change Adaptation in the Lake Victoria Basin, Uganda

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governance is a well‐known dimension of adaptive capacity across various frameworks, however specific links between perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy and adaptive capacity remain relatively unexplored. In this study, we investigate connections between climate change adaptation and perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy using focus ...

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.

Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Advancing Environmental Sustainability Through Wind Energy, Green Technology, and Fintech: A Quantile Perspective From Germany's Low‐Carbon Transition

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
The current study examines the role of Fintech, wind energy, and green technology in determining environmental suitability in Germany from 2000 to 2024. The study employs time series econometric methods to estimate the QQR and QR techniques. The positive effects of wind production, FinTech, Natural Resources and green technology on environmental ...

Modeling the impacts of grazing management on livestock behavior and performance: A case study in the Peruvian Andes

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Our modeling study shows that livestock management strongly influences grazing behavior and animal performance in the Peruvian Andes. Furthermore, adjusting stocking rates and improving animal distribution can enhance forage intake and body condition while increasing forage biomass.
